By the time Lu Mengjie got out of the room, she saw it all clean. A pastel pink long sleeve off the shoulder dress and a set of clean underwear resting on the bed. She was feeling better after the warm bath but she could still feel how tired her body was.

After wearing the clothes, she picked the bag and took out her phone and turned it on. A few seconds later, countless notifications appeared from different people. She opened the messages, replying one by one. She then saw a couple of messages from her youngest brother, Lu Jinnian.

[Jiejie, you have to come home early. Don't forget that you have a curfew.]

[Jiejie, dad is getting mad.]

[Dad said that if you won't come home, he will hunt down your men.]

[Dad's threatening teacher Qiang!]

[Jiejie please come home! Mom and dad are fighting! (TT^TT)]

Lu Mengjie was the closest to her dad. They got along in everything since her childhood but after he learned about her harem, he became stricter with her. He has always been so overprotective to her since she was his only daughter. Although when he found out that she has been spending her money on her collection of men, he became so furious that he froze all her bank cards. He even told her that he would find her men just to kill them when she refused to let go of her harem. She has always been a stubborn girl when it came to keeping her men.

"Are you done changing?" Yong Liwei's masculine, deep voice was heard from the outside of the door, startling her a bit.

"Y-yes!" She got out of the room only to see him leaning against the wall as if he has been waiting for her to come. He left her in the room earlier just to give her the privacy she needed when she got out of the bathroom. Despite not looking like it, she actually found it amazing to see how much of a gentleman he was. He tended to all her needs ever since she woke up. If she was going to rate his aftercare, she would give him a perfect score.

"Yes." She kept her phone back in her bag. "I should get going, Mr. Yong."

"I can drop you at your place," he offered.

She shook her head a bit as she rejected her offer. "I have a car waiting for me at the parking lot."

"Very well." He reached out and gently placed his hand on her cheek as he continued, "you don't have to be formal to me. I prefer you addressing me comfortably."

She couldn't help but let out a small giggle, as she replied, "daddy it is then."

"Good girl." He held her chin just to raise it a bit. He leaned to her level, placing a soft kiss on her lips before saying, "I look forward to our next meeting." His voice was low and suggestive. The perilous, meaningful look in his eyes somehow made her heart jump.

So this was not a one-time thing. For some reason, she couldn't help but feel all relieved and excited at the same time. She couldn't help but look forward at the thought of seeing him, spending time with him again.

He placed a kiss on her shoulder. His lips alight on her bare shoulder was like a dew freckled petal caught in a breeze, soft and with the smallest hint of coolness. She loved that feeling. She loved the way his lips felt against her skin.

"Take care on your way home, baby," he said, finally releasing her.

"I will."

He really was so caring to her. It was just one night but she felt like she had spent an eternity with him. Maybe it was all because he didn't waste every second they shared with each other? At first, she may have just wanted to recruit him, put him in her collection but after what happened last night, something changed. She wanted more from this man.

...

Arriving at the Lu residence. The moment Lu Mengjie entered the mansion, she saw a blonde-haired man with black roots growing, sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed. Her father. He cast his icy cold eyes at her. The temperature around the room long dropped, making her feel like it was winter with a snow storm blowing against her.

He was angry, terribly angry at her. "Where have you been? Why was your phone off last night?"

If it was another person, they would have cowered in fear when they received the death stare coming from the evil king but Lu Mengjie was not someone else. The side of her lips curled up as she approached him. She sat beside him and hugged him from the side. "Daaaaad, don't be mad with me."

"You being cute right now will not work with me, young lady." He refused to look at her in fear that he might forgive her all at once. He may not look like it but no matter how furious he was with his daughter, he always has a soft spot for her. "Where have you been? You have a curfew, remember?"

"I forgot," she honestly said. "Also I was at Xixi-jiejie's place last night. You can give her a call and ask."

He finally looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to see if she was lying or not. She was just like her mother after all.

She has always been a good liar. Even if she hasn't called Shi Enxi, she was going to automatically cover for her. Their connection was like that of close sisters after all. She was pretty confident that her father was not going to see through her lies.

"Please forgive me just this once, daaaad!" She pursed her lips as she gave him a puppy look.

"Of all people, why do you have to use Shi Enxi as your excuse?" He sighed in defeat. There was no way he was going to be able to confirm if what his daughter said was true even if he called his wife's sister. He knew how close they were. They have always had each other's back since they were children.

If Shi Enxi was a she-devil who loved riches then Lu Mengjie was a demoness who loved to collect pretty boys. They would always spell double trouble whenever they were together.
